NOTES - Core inflation, adjusted for taxes and energy prices, is the measure used by the central bank in setting interest rates. It targets inflation at around 2.5 percent over the medium long term.

A Reuters poll of 11 analysts had found a median expectation of a year-on-year core CPI rise of 1.0 percent in September and an annual 0.5 percent rise in headline inflation (12 estimates on head line inflation).
